In a dramatic comeback, the Dallas Stars defeated the Edmonton Oilers 6-3 in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final on Wednesday night. The Stars rallied from a two-goal deficit, scoring five unanswered goals in the third period.

The Oilers had built a 3-1 lead heading into the final frame, with goals from Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (power play), and Evan Bouchard. Tyler Seguin scored for Dallas in the first period to tie the game at 1-1, but Edmonton regained control in the second.

However, the third period belonged entirely to the Stars. Miro Heiskanen, Mikael Granlund, and Matt Duchene all scored power-play goals in a span of just 5:26 to give Dallas a 4-3 lead. Tyler Seguin added his second goal of the night, and Esa Lindell sealed the victory with an empty-netter.

The Stars' power play was particularly effective in the third period, converting on three consecutive opportunities. This stunning turnaround gives Dallas a 1-0 series lead heading into Game 2.
